Any MPG reports yet?

I got 30 mpg on the first tank AC on the whole time mixed driving some interstate 70 mph. next fill up today.
Second fill up I got 33 mpg AC on the whole time mixed driving some interstate 70++ mph.
Third Tank 30 mpg AC on the whole time mixed driving some interstate 70++ mph.
Forth tank 33 mpg AC on the whole time mixed driving some interstate 70 mph.
Fifth tank 33.7 mpg AC on the whole time mixed driving some 20% interstate 70 mph.
35 AC 1/2 the time
34 AC 1/2 the time
32 AC 1/2 the time
36 AC 1/2 the time
We are not babying it at all but I am happy with the MPG.
We are driving about 100 miles a day.

First tank was 29.779 all a/c mix of city and highway.
Second tank the car reads 35.3 all city but I will check this when I fill up at the same pump a second time. I think the Car computer might be a bit optimistic.

Yeah, they tend to be optimistic for the most part I've found. My wife's prius reads 1.5MPG higher than what the actual MPG is.

My last fill up the computer said 38.5, while my conventional calculations put it 4 mpg lower at 34.5, which is interesting because my first fill up was 39 for the computer and 35 conventional method. So far they're consistently 4 mpg apart.
Currently I'm at 35-36, but that's all commuting which is mixed driving, mostly city. I know I'll see that increase to 39 or so once this coming weekend over.
FYI, I'm currently close to 800 miles on the odometer which means I'm fast approaching 1,000 miles where I can give her some beans and see what she's got. I kinda don't wanna do it though because that FE reading is looking right at me when I'm driving and it really makes you want to do whatever it takes to keep that number high. Maybe after 1,000 miles I'll switch it to the oil life reading, lol.

So far both my theories are looking good - 09s have better mileage than 08s, and avg mpg readout is consistently 4 mpg higher than manual calculation. Good to know we're all getting excellent mileage, and the engine still has to loosen up for even better mileage.

Hope the mileage minder isn't truly off by that much; not especially useful if it is.
As posted above, it is my impression that the mileage calculators on some other vehicles are more consistent/accurate than calculating it yourself; you're not affected by how full the tank may be.
